Even with these challenges, his cleverness and kindness made him a great king. One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the portraits (肖像) of his ancestors (祖先) on the walls. Thinking that one day his children would admire his portrait as well, he really wanted to have it painted well. However, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out due to his physical problems. So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon decided that it was an impossible task. They feared that if the portrait did not meet the king’s wishes, he would punish them. So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused to make the painting. Then, one painter raised his hand and said that he wanted to give it a try. When the painter completed the portrait, everyone, including the king, was amazed. The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing his one leg while holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (瞄准箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very happy to see this beautiful portrait, and gave the painter a lot of money as he promised. 24. How can we describe the king? A. He was disabled. B. He was not clever. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位在战争中失去一条腿和一只眼睛的聪明善良的国王，因想拥有精美的肖像邀请画家，多数画家因担心完不成任务拒绝，一位画家巧妙构图完成肖像，国王很满意并按承诺给予画家重金的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Once upon a time, there was a king who lost his leg and eye during a war.”可知，国王在战争中失去了一条腿和一只眼睛，属于残疾人士。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out due to his physical problems. So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him.”可知，国王邀请著名画家是为了让他们给自己创作一幅漂亮的肖像。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon decided that it was an impossible task. They feared that if the portrait did not meet the king’s wishes, he would punish them. So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused to make the painting.”可知，其他画家拒绝为国王画像，是因为他们认为这是一项不可能完成的任务，即觉得自己无法做好这件事。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Thinking that one day his children would admire his portrait as well, he really wanted to have it painted well”可知，国王先产生了“想拥有一幅自己的肖像画”的想法，对应事件c。接着，国王因想画肖像画，邀请了画家，而根据“So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused to make the painting”可知，其他画家都“拒绝为国王画画”，对应事件b。然后，根据“Then, one painter raised his hand and said that he wanted to give it a try”可知，在其他画家拒绝后，有一位画家“主动提出尝试”，对应事件d。最后根据“The king was very happy to see this beautiful portrait, and gave the painter a lot of money as he promised”可知，画家完成肖像画后，国王“为肖像画付钱”，对应事件a。故选C。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing his one leg while holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (瞄准箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very happy to see this beautiful portrait”可知，画家巧妙构图，将国王的身体缺陷融入肖像场景中，呈现出漂亮的效果，国王对此很满意，由此可推断国王认为画家有才华且聪明。故选B。 B Spring is an exciting time of the year!

These changes happened because AI tools were brought in. By using AI to come up with personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school are able to help each student in different ways. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes various materials outside school. This helps create a set of exercises for the unit, helping students strengthen their knowledge. “We don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books anymore,” said 14-year-old He Liyan. Students complete the exercise questions on answer sheets (答卷) . Then, teachers use the AI tool for grading. The tool provides data and graphics (图表) to help teachers understand both the overall class performance and each student’s progress. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us, ” said 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. Also, depending on their performance in past exams, students can get a personalized error log (错题日志) or homework made by AI. So students can spend less time on what they already know and study what they don’t know. “I used to have a notebook where I wrote down my mistakes so that I could study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI does it for me!” 34. What is the main purpose of using AI in the school, according to the text? A. To make teaching easier for teachers. B. To make students’exercise books lighter. C. To help each student with their needs. D. To help students do their homework faster. 35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What problems teachers had when using AI. B. Why teachers created an online database for students. C. How teachers use AI to make personalized exercises. D. How teachers use AI to organize after-class activities. 36. What does Wang Dinghan say is good about the AI system? A. Teachers explain questions more carefully. B. Teachers offer one-on-one help to students. C Students can practice as often as they need to. D. Students can see their mistakes more easily online. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. By using AI, teacher can help each student in the same way. B. By using AI, students don’t need to bring all the exercise books anymore. C. By using AI, teachers need to explain every question one by one. D. By using AI, students need to spend more time on their study. 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI shows a new learning trend. B. AI frees students from homework. C. AI helps students learn better. D. AI improves the teacher-student relationship. 【答案】34. C 35. C 36. B 37. B 38. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能在教育中的应用，人工智能帮助老师给学生制定个性化的学习方案。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By using AI to come up with personalized exercises and exams, teachers at the school are able to help each student in different ways.”可知，文章强调引入AI的主要目的是“帮助每个学生的不同需求”。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database that includes various materials outside school.”可知，第三段介绍了老师如何利用AI从数据库中挑选不同题目，给学生提供个性化的练习。故选C。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中王丁涵的话“Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us,”可知，AI系统的好处在于“老师会针对学生的错误问题提供一对一帮助”。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books anymore,”可知，文中提到学生不用再携带所有的沉重练习册，这是对AI带来便利的直接体现。故选B。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕AI如何帮助学生及老师展开，重点在于“AI帮助学生学得更好”。故选C。 D A lot of people take up dancing as an after-school hobby. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. When you dance, you move your body to different kinds of music, which helps your body produce a lot of endorphins (内啡肽) that can make you feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some groups of patients under three conditions: dancing with music, listening to music, riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (沮丧的). Dancing can bring people together, too. Whether it’s Tango or any other Latin dance, people need to move with others. This can improve their sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps people focus more on the present moment and free their mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website. Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce (减轻) stress. She also said that dancing can be done in many ways, whether it’s by moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central. 39. What can help you the most when you are sad according to the study? A. Going to a concert. B. Talking to a friend. C. Dancing to music. D. Riding a bike. 40. How can dancing help people, according to IBSA? A. Get closer to others. B. Forget bad feelings. C. Help produce endorphins. D. Learn different types of music. 41. What matters most when we move, according to Lauren Helper? A. The choice of music. B. The type of dance. C. The connection to others. D. The feeling of fun. 42. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 43. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Don’t forget to connect with others B. Get more endorphins in daily life C. Dance your way to happiness and health D. Relax yourself by singing and moving 【答案】39. C 40. A 41. D 42. A 43. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了跳舞作为一种课后爱好，近年来被认为是对抗负面情绪的最佳运动之一，并从促进内啡肽分泌、缓解沮丧、增进社交联系、释放负面情绪等方面阐述其益处，还引用专家观点说明跳舞是减轻压力的有效方式且运动关键在于乐趣。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In a study, a group of German scientists tested some groups of patients under three conditions: dancing with music, listening to music, riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (沮丧的).”可知，在悲伤时，根据这项研究，跳舞听音乐对人的帮助最大。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Dancing can bring people together, too. Whether it’s Tango or any other Latin dance, people need to move with others. This can improve their sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation.”可知，根据瑞士科学基金会 IBSA 的说法，跳舞能帮助人们与他人走得更近。故选A。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun”可知，根据Lauren Helper的观点，当我们运动时，最重要的是乐趣感。故选D。 【42题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段总述跳舞的益处；第二段解释其中的原因；第三、四、五段分别从科学实验、社交联系、释放情绪展开；第六段以Lauren Helper观点总结，呼应首段。故选A。 【43题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕跳舞的益处展开，重点阐述了跳舞在缓解负面情绪、促进心理健康、增进社交联系等方面的作用，“Dance your way to happiness and health”（以跳舞的方式走向快乐与健康）能准确概括文章核心内容。故选C。 三、短文还原（共5空，每空2分，计10分） 根据材料内容，从下面六个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 Happy 70th birthday, Miffy!

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft took them home. Williams and Wilmore arrived on the ISS in June 2024 for a planned week-long trip. However, because of the problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, they had to wait to return to Earth. Life for the two astronauts in space was busy. According to The Economic Times, they spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments (实验). That will help with future medical (医药) development. Williams also finished two spacewalks, bringing her total (总次数) to nine—a new record for female astronauts. To keep their muscles (肌肉) and bones (骨骼) from getting too weak in the zero-gravity (零重力) environment, the astronauts exercised for at least two hours a day. They used special tools to copy the feeling of exercising on Earth. “We’re doing pretty good, actually. We’ve got food, we’ve got clothes. Both of us have trained to live and work on the International Space Station for a long time, and I think we’ve made the most of it,” Williams told CNN. Even with their efforts (努力), their muscles and bones still became weaker. What’s more, Space travelers experience 100 times more radiation (辐射) than people on Earth, increasing their risk of cancer (癌症) in the future, said The Guardian. 69 Why did Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have to wait to return to Earth? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 70. What does the underlined word “That” refer to? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 71. What does Williams think about their time at the ISS? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What challenges (挑战) might the two astronauts have after returning to Earth? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 73. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】69. Because of the problems with their spacecraft, they had to wait to return to Earth. 70. They spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments. 71. She thinks they have made the most of their time at the ISS. 72. Higher risk of getting ill. 73. 他们使用特殊的工具来模拟在地球上锻炼的感觉。 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国国家航空航天局宇航员Sunita Williams和Barry Wilmore因飞船故障被迫在国际空间站滞留了9个月，期间完成了大量科学实验，Williams还创下女性宇航员太空行走次数纪录。 【69题详解】 根据第二段“However, because of the problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, they had to wait to return to Earth.”可知，由于他们的航天器出现了问题，他们不得不等待返回地球。故填Because of the problems with their spacecraft, they had to wait to return to Earth. 【70题详解】 根据第三段“they spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments (实验). That will help with future medical (医药) development.”可知，他们花了900多个小时进行科学研究和实验，这将有助于未来的医学发展。因此，That指的是they spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments。故填They spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments. 【71题详解】 根据第五段“I think we’ve made the most of it”可知，Williams认为他们充分利用了在国际空间站的这段时间。故填She thinks they have made the most of their time at the ISS. 【72题详解】 根据最后一段“Even with their efforts (努力), their muscles and bones still became weaker. What’s more, Space travelers experience 100 times more radiation (辐射) than people on Earth, increasing their risk of cancer (癌症) in the future”可知，两位宇航员返回地球后患病的风险会更高。故填Higher risk of getting ill. 【73题详解】 They“他们”；used“使用”；special tools“特殊的工具”；to copy the feeling of exercising on Earth“来模拟在地球上锻炼的感觉”。故填：他们使用特殊的工具来模拟在地球上锻炼的感觉。 六、书面表达(共1题，计20分) 74. 我校正在开展“Take care of yourself”主题周征文活动，请根据以下内容要点和要求写一篇80-100字左右的短文投稿。 内容要点： 1.我们应从哪些方面做起，比如：身体健康（饮食、锻炼等）、生活技能（洗衣、做饭等）、心理健康（心态、抗挫等）…… 2.具体应该怎么做； 3.这样做的好处是什么。 要求： 1.至少从两方面给出自己的看法； 2.文中不得出现考生姓名、班级及其他相关信息； 3.照抄试卷内容不得分。 Word bank: physical health 身体健康 life skills 生活技能 mental health 心理健康 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Take care of yourself As we all know, health is very important in our life.

Thinking that one day his children would admire his portrait as well, he really wanted to have it painted well. However, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out due to his physical problems. So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon decided that it was an impossible task. They feared that if the portrait did not meet the king’s wishes, he would punish them. So, one by one, they started making excuses and refused to make the painting. Then, one painter raised his hand and said that he wanted to give it a try. When the painter completed the portrait, everyone, including the king, was amazed. The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing his one leg while holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (瞄准箭) with his one eye closed.

Did you know that spring doesn’t start at the same time everywhere?

These changes happened because AI tools were brought in. By using AI to come up with personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school are able to help each student in different ways. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes various materials outside school. This helps create a set of exercises for the unit, helping students strengthen their knowledge. “We don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books anymore,” said 14-year-old He Liyan. Students complete the exercise questions on answer sheets (答卷) . Then, teachers use the AI tool for grading. The tool provides data and graphics (图表) to help teachers understand both the overall class performance and each student’s progress. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us, ” said 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. Also, depending on their performance in past exams, students can get a personalized error log (错题日志) or homework made by AI. So students can spend less time on what they already know and study what they don’t know. “I used to have a notebook where I wrote down my mistakes so that I could study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI does it for me!” 34. What is the main purpose of using AI in the school, according to the text? A. To make teaching easier for teachers. B. To make students’exercise books lighter. C. To help each student with their needs. D. To help students do their homework faster. 35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What problems teachers had when using AI. B. Why teachers created an online database for students. C. How teachers use AI to make personalized exercises. D. How teachers use AI to organize after-class activities. 36. What does Wang Dinghan say is good about the AI system? A. Teachers explain questions more carefully. B. Teachers offer one-on-one help to students. C. Students can practice as often as they need to.

In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. When you dance, you move your body to different kinds of music, which helps your body produce a lot of endorphins (内啡肽) that can make you feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some groups of patients under three conditions: dancing with music, listening to music, riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (沮丧的). Dancing can bring people together, too. Whether it’s Tango or any other Latin dance, people need to move with others. This can improve their sense of social bonding (联系), according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps people focus more on the present moment and free their mind for a while, as reported by Psych Central, a mental health news website. Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce (减轻) stress. She also said that dancing can be done in many ways, whether it’s by moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of movement (运动) is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central. 39. What can help you the most when you are sad according to the study? A. Going to a concert. B. Talking to a friend. C. Dancing to music. D. Riding a bike. 40. How can dancing help people, according to IBSA? A. Get closer to others. B. Forget bad feelings. C. Help produce endorphins. D. Learn different types of music. 41. What matters most when we move, according to Lauren Helper? A. The choice of music. B. The type of dance. C. The connection to others. D. The feeling of fun. 42. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 43. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Don’t forget to connect with others B. Get more endorphins in daily life C. Dance your way to happiness and health D. Relax yourself by singing and moving 三、短文还原（共5空，每空2分，计10分） 根据材料内容，从下面六个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 Happy 70th birthday, Miffy! This popular character turns 70 years old this year.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft took them home. Williams and Wilmore arrived on the ISS in June 2024 for a planned week-long trip. However, because of the problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, they had to wait to return to Earth. Life for the two astronauts in space was busy. According to The Economic Times, they spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments (实验). That will help with future medical (医药) development. Williams also finished two spacewalks, bringing her total (总次数) to nine—a new record for female astronauts. To keep their muscles (肌肉) and bones (骨骼) from getting too weak in the zero-gravity (零重力) environment, the astronauts exercised for at least two hours a day. They used special tools to copy the feeling of exercising on Earth. “We’re doing pretty good, actually. We’ve got food, we’ve got clothes. Both of us have trained to live and work on the International Space Station for a long time, and I think we’ve made the most of it,” Williams told CNN. Even with their efforts (努力), their muscles and bones still became weaker. What’s more, Space travelers experience 100 times more radiation (辐射) than people on Earth, increasing their risk of cancer (癌症) in the future, said The Guardian. 69.
